A German hunting squadron, known as a Jagdstaffel, typically consisted of around 12 to 20 aircraft during World War I. These squadrons were designed for aerial combat and often included a mix of fighter planes and supporting aircraft. The exact number could vary depending on the specific squadron and the time period within the war.
During the Battle of Midway, which took place from June 4 to June 7, 1942, the Axis powers primarily involved were Japan, with a significant naval force. The Japanese deployed four aircraft carriers (Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu), around 250 aircraft, and approximately 5 battleships, along with numerous cruisers and destroyers. In total, Japan committed around 160 ships and submarines for the engagement. The battle was a decisive victory for the United States, which had three aircraft carriers (USS Enterprise, USS Hornet, and USS Yorktown) and around 360 aircraft involved.
The cost of upgrading older ships to bring them up to modern standard is estimated at about $200 million and one year in the shipyard. The cost and return was deemed inefficent in view of the current poitical climate.
The bombing of Dresden during World War II involved a significant number of Allied aircraft. On the nights of February 13-15, 1945, around 1,300 bombers, including British Lancaster and American B-17 bombers, carried out the raids. These aircraft were organized into multiple squadrons, but the exact number varied by the specific missions and operations involved. Overall, the raids resulted in extensive destruction and loss of life in the city.
During the Battle of Midway, the Americans lost one aircraft carrier, the USS Yorktown, one destroyer, the USS Hammann, and around 150 aircraft. The loss of the Yorktown was significant, but the destruction of four Japanese aircraft carriers marked a turning point in the war in the Pacific.

Burt Rutan is an American aerospace engineer. He designed the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling called the Voyager. He also designed the sub-orbital space-plane called SpaceShipOne, that won the Ansari X-Prize in 2004. He has also designed many other aircraft and has an aerospace company called Scaled Composites.
Boeing has been making aircraft since the early 1900s. They are definitely the largest manufacturer. I believe the statistic is, "A Boeing aircraft takes off somewhere around the world every five seconds."
The Heinkel He 119 was designed in the late 1930s, with its development starting around 1937. It was intended as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft for the Luftwaffe. The aircraft's first flight occurred in 1939, but it ultimately did not enter production due to various factors, including changes in military priorities.

The first working steam-powered vehicle was likely to have been designed around 1672. The first unmanned aircraft were created in the 1700s.
The overspeed alarm in an aircraft is typically set to sound when the aircraft exceeds its maximum designed airspeed limits, which can vary depending on the specific aircraft model and configuration. These limits are known as the aircraft's Maximum Indicated Airspeed (VMO) and Maximum Mach Number (MMO). When these limits are exceeded, the overspeed alarm will be triggered to alert the flight crew to take corrective action.

The size of American Airlines economy seats varies depending on the aircraft type, but generally, the seat width is around 17-18 inches and the seat pitch (distance between seats) is around 30-32 inches.
